Switching Peers in the Firewall Management Center High Availability Pair

Because the system restricts some functionality to the active Firewall Management Center, if that appliance fails, you must promote the standby Firewall Management Center to active:

Procedure

Step 1

Log into one of the Firewall Management Centers that you paired using high availability.

Step 2

Choose Integration > Other Integrations.

Step 3

Choose High Availability.

Step 4

Choose Switch Peer Roles to change the local role from Active to Standby, or Standby to Active. With the Primary or Secondary designation unchanged, the roles are switched between the two peers.
